I have been sober ... I mean using Tcl since 1999. Before that I mainly used C but have been know to work in java, pascal, jovial, fortran, assembly (various) and microcode (68000, rtl, vrtl). I have tried perl and python but much prefer the syntax of Tcl. I also attended the Seventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference in Austin where I met many Tclers.
Here on the Wiki I've contributed to the following pages.
HOME
I have been working on NewzPoint, my replacement for PointCast. NewzPoint is a tabbed layout webviewer with auto refresh. It was developed using Tcl/Tk and optcl. A couple of Tclers have seen this application and the comments have been favoriable. But it maybe hard to decribe why you might need NewzPoint but I am hooked (a Tivo[L1 ] type problem).
WORK
I have been using Tcl for automated testing of embedded radar system [L2 ]. I am the architecture and software lead of our current test tool for validation testing. This tool uses safe tcl to run each script test in a 'sandbox' and generate datasheets (viewable in realtime) in html format. The tool called ASE (said 'ace') is a modular collection of applications with Tcl as the test interpreture. It also uses ProDebug (from TclPro) to perform the test script debugging. A GUI (java), a data streaming server (tcl) and jEdit[L3 ] (java) as the test script editor . Each part is connected by network sockets so that any piece can be upgraded or replaced without affecting the whole application. It also has generated a lot of little Tcl tools like tcldoc2 (a javadoc knockoff) and fickle (a flex knockoff) just to name a few.
